Black Circle.."Doom".

Payed up front for the 1st time to, Black Circle. Fortunately on, PayPal.
Tyres arrived at the appointed time, so I set off to, Cando Auto Services.
Only to find tyres had been, "Barrel Stacked", and were

so distorted could not be fitted.
The only reason I went to, Black Circle, in the 1st place was the Bloke I normally get my tyres from could not get the tyres I wanted or get anything near the price.
It gets worse than that, you can not reach, Black Circle, by phone, all numbers tell you it's because of the, Scamdemic.
3 days later still no contact from, Black Circle, so booted up to, PayPal

I was going to use Black Circle a couple of years ago.

Turned out it was actually cheaper buying them direct from the local fitter who would have been fitting them anyway... Steve

What sort of tyre place doesn’t have a bead seater for just that reason? Even I have one for the odd time I get a flattened tyre in. It’s really not a problem.

I didn't want to take the chance, the tyres where so flat and out of shape,

I've had them when the beads have practically been touching. Once inflated, everything is back to normal. Thumbs Up Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Back in the 90's my mate and I used to buy "new, old stock" Military tyres for our Land Rovers (Lightweights, series 3's and 110 ex military).
Those tyres never looked the same as each other. Some would look taller, some narrower etc, despite being the same brand and size, usually 750/16. But once fitted and pumped up to correct pressure, they were all exactly the same.
Never once had a problem with them.
However,it may be different with modern tyres .
